Carol or carole is a medieval word that meant "a celebratory religious dance with song". Originally pagans in Europe celebrated with carols on the winter solstice, and gradually the singing of carols merged with the Christmas celebration. Some believe that the earliest Christmas carols were written in the 14th century. The general consensus is that at least the singing of Christmas carols became popular in the 14th century.
